Abstract:
An imaging device that is capable of having a fisheye lens attached to a main body, and that is capable of shooting digital images, comprising, an image sensor on which photometric domains and/or AF region are arranged, a lens communication circuit that performs communication with a lens that has been attached and acquires lens information, and a processor that detects whether or not a lens that has been attached is a circular fisheye lens based on the lens information, and, if it has been determined that the lens is a circular fisheye lens, restricts the photometric domains and/or AF regions based on an image circle of the circular fisheye lens.
